    An antiangiogenic homoisoflavanone, cremastranone, was synthesized for the first time. This scalable synthesis, which includes selective demethylation, could be used to develop lead molecules to treat angiogenesis-induced eye diseases. Synthetic cremastranone inhibited the proliferation, migration and tube formation ability of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells, important steps in pathological angiogenesis.
